Absolutely one of the most underrated films of the 1980s, definitely classic. Great to see the love for it in the comments.

Catholics allowed their children to be subjected to this kind of child abuse? I don't understand how or why they are allowed to exist as a "so called religious organization"! But, as a major part of Babylon The Great, the world empire of false religion, they will soon be destroyed by our Heavenly Father. He will not stand to have this kind of corruption, that even today, I imagine, continues to exist in the schools across the world. Parents need to be held accountable too.

I don’t understand how this movie is never mentioned when people talk about brat pack movies .. one of my favourite underrated pictures along with the flamingo kid

Hi WOODSTOCK WAS IN 69!

[@gardengnome3249]

As an individual who suffered from the corporal punishment whims of parents and teachers during the 50s and 60s the punishments suffered in this movie are only too vivid. I am not ever saying I was innocent but some of the times I was reduced to tears and degradation and worst of all the humiliation was almost unbearable. Then to walk into the play ground and be bullied. Life in school was so wonderful. Is it any wonder I joined the navy at 16? I needed out of there. At least the navy gave me purpose and solid structure without physical pain and humiliation. I also learned to hide my transgressions better.

My first husband went to a Catholic boys home in the 1950s because he was severely hyper active and they didn't understand how to deal with him. He told me a lot of personal stories about how they were all treated 😢

As a former Catholic boarding school inmate, i cant watch. Its too accurate.😮

[@crkayne7445]

So Sorry you had to go through that. Hopefully it didn’t taint who Jesus is &that you know him apart from the Catholic Church and the disappointments of any church.

[@briseboy]

@@crkayne7445 it was jesus that was evil. HOW can there be a jesus and et cetera, when innocent children are brutalized by alcoholic monster. There is NO poofy boss who will save you when you die and rot and turn into other things. Love could NOT have evolved were it not for death, and NO priest i was ever unfortunate enough to meet since earliest life through now, was a good person, but only a fkn monster attempting to violate and rule over children.

“You got me, brother.” John Heard did a great job but I can also see Bruce Willis playing this part.

[@grahambaker1736]

Great movie, excellent cast but the story line for me confirms the brutality in many Catholic schools and institutions which still exist to this day!

[@e.l.norton]

This was not exactly a Catholic school, it was a Franciscan Friars school. A more strict environment. And, having spent K through 8 in a Catholic school, I can tell you Catholic schools are not at all like what you see in Brother Constance. There were strict rules, but never once was corporal punishment used. You think that could be gotten away with today? Today if you so much as hurt a kid's feelings with a look and an unexpressed thought they'll arrest you for "abuse". Once upon a time 50 or 60 years ago, schools were allowed to discipline kids harshly. But, that has not been the case in at least 50 years. Today, you can rest easy knowing that young kids are being psychologically damaged in the safety of public schools, being told there's no such thing as boys or girls, and that they can choose their sex. By comparison it makes a school like St. Basil's look like a spa.

[@kpk33x]

​@@e.l.nortonI went to a Catholic elementary school in the early to mid 80s. Like many then, it struggled with resources and enrollment. Corporal punishment had been eliminated several years before I started, but it was still a suffocating, dreadful environment, especially for a smart skinny kid who was skipped ahead in math 2 grades and 1 in English to incur the hate of three different grades. Bullying was rampant and it would have been worse had my older brother not been looking out for me. A 10 year old feeling trapped, full of despair and hopelessness, long enough to develop lifelong issues with anxiety and depression. Getting sent to public middle school was literally like being granted parole. Maybe part of the reason I enjoyed this movie this much and watched it many times was that I realized some kids may have had it worse than I did.

[@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288]

Okay, i think I have the answer to the tap shoe question. This is unfamiliar now, because most neighborhood cobblers are a thing of the past. So since people were using traditional shoes, in other words not constantly wearing sneakers, the heels on your shoes needed to be changed when they would wear down on the concrete. So to extend the life of your heels, the shoemaker could add a tap to the heel. The tap could be rubber, more discreet, or a metal tap, very noisy but your heels would last almost forever. Remember most people were pedestrians, not driving constantly, so maintaining walking shoes in good condition was a thing people took seriously. Hope that helps. The little details that make this movie work! 🎭📽️🎭

[@margitwes6495]

Metal taps were banned in my school,too noisy on the marble stairs. Yes, I'm old.

[@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288]

So I guess one way to announce yourself as a bad ass, a trouble maker, was to tap down the hallway. A whole other spin on things.

[@margitwes6495]

@@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288 It was the early 60's us girls started to challenge the locks on the cages we were put in.

[@angelabluebird609]

Yes, we had taps put on our shoes. Cobblers could also do repairs and re-sole shoes.

[@uwsupergirl]

Ugh i know Catholic schools existed like this but that wasn't my experience in the 1980s in Chicago, so this is just a drag to see abusive mean priests and bullied teens. There were a couple sour pusses, but we had this great dynamic nun as a principal. She wore matching pant suits, and we had this bubbly "attendance counselor" who was like Kathy Najimy in Sister Act and a layperson teaching religion who was this cool lady, an activist for all kinds of social justice causes to help women, poor people, the environment and peace. We had fun, and were involved in lots of social justice projects, marching for peace for instance. We learned character using not only bible, but the Serendipity books by Cosgrove. I just had the best experience there so it's sad to see the ugly side of the religious experience for so many.
